As a pinch hitter in his first at bat? Yes. But his HR in the 18th was "technically" a pinch hit HR, as he came in for Berkman...except it was 7-8 innings later when he finally hit the HR.
cool, thanks. looks like we'll have to execute "operation hold koby clemens for ransom", until may 1st then.
Are you one of those guys when you tell someone to do one thing, and they always do the opposite? Astros > Nats
Everyone is, but why change forums and try to fire up some Astros fans? Move toward the light, it's a much better place. Join us as we root on our Stros. The Rockets are going no where but down in '06. I love my Rockets, but I know when they are out and slowly of the last 6 years or so the Astros have been moving up as my favorite team and baseball becoming my favorite sport to watch/attend.
Yep. Pettitte: It's not his arm. Health-wise, he's fine. But he may still be just a bit behind in terms of regular-season strength, considering he took it slowly during Spring Training after resting an extra month of the offseason. "I feel great," he said. "That's probably another reason why I'm so frustrated. I do feel really good. My arm's feeling really good. But I'm still out of sync. My command's terrible. I've got no cutter right now. I'm just trying to get through it." http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASAp...tent_id=1391656&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou and Qualls: "I was trying to put the ball in the dirt and left it too high each time. "Probably the most frustrating pitch was the 0-2 [pitch] to Soriano. I was trying to throw a slider down and away, and I threw it down and right in the middle. I was trying to tell myself, 'A slider in the dirt.' But I guess I was overthrowing." http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASAp...tent_id=1390603&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou He's been using Qualls-Wheeler-Lidge in the 7th-8th-9th for the past couple of years, with some rather decent results. Bad execution and/or bad results does not make it a bad decision. Because he's a troll?
Really? Are you still considered a pinch hitter after you've played a position? Can you have multiple pinch hits in a game? Just curious. I've never heard that before.
Yep, headed down to the BUS for some pregame festivities here in a few minutes. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's a beautiful day for a ballgame …for a ballgame, today. The fans are out to get a ticket or two From Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo It’s a beautiful day for a home run But even a triple’s okay We’re gonna cheer And boo And raise a glass or two At the ballgame, today!
I'm going to go ahead and take credit for the HR today. Had I not traded Berkman for Patterson/Street, he would've struck out.
Perhaps those "crawford box specials" will even out in our favor... we're still way behind, mainly thanks to 2000.
I wish we would have had Berkman all year last year. Oh well, he's making up for that lost time so far.
"Anything you can do, I can do better.." Bottom 1ST B:1 S:2 O:2 Lance Berkman homers (4) on a fly ball to right field. "I can do anything better than you" Bottom 2ND B:1 S:1 O:0 Preston Wilson homers (4) on a fly ball to left field.
